The Detroit Pistons take care of the Brooklyn Nets behind double-doubles from both Andre Drummond (23 and 11) and Ersan Ilyasova (19 and 13).

The Pistons had a sluggish start, not scoring on their first five times down the court. But after that, they went on to score on eleven of their next fifteen possessions to take a first quarter lead, and the result never looked in doubt. Reggie Jackson either scored or assisted on nine of those eleven possessions in a very efficient performance by the star point guard.

The Nets fought back from a 10 point deficit at half time to bring it within two with only four minutes remaining in the third but were unable to close out the quarter and the Pistons took a six point lead into the foutth and only extended that advantage.

Each Pistons player that took the court finished with a positive number in regards to the +/- lead by Darrun Hilliard (+16) who received extended minutes due to the late withdrawal of Marcus Morris due to injury.
